Fire Fighting Fluoroprotein Foam Concentrate or Compund

Also called Fluoroprotein foam concentrate or compound, firefighting foam is foam used for fire suppression. Its role is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, resulting in suppression of the combustion.

A fire fighting foam is simply a stable mass of small air-filled bubbles, which have a lower density than oil, gasoline or water. Foam is made up of three ingredients - water, foam concentrate and air. When mixed in the correct proportions, these three ingredients form a homogeneous foam blanket.

TURRACO FLUOROFOAM contains fluorinated surfactants in a carefully formulated protein foam liquid base. This ensures the production of stabilized fluid foam which will cover a burning hydrocarbon fuel surface very rapidly. The water soluble fluorosurfactant makes the foam hydrocarbon repellent and reduces the amount of burning particles absorbed by the foam in fighting the hydrocarbon fuel fires. Once fire extinction has been achieved the high stability of the foam blanket ensures against the risk of re-ignition and provides excellent protection against “burn-back” should any inaccessible pockets of fire remains.

Our Fluoroprotein foam is available in both 3% concentration (High expansion, richer foam) and 6% (Low-expansion foam) concentration. Every type of foam has its application. High-expansion foams are used when an enclosed space, such as a basement or hangar, must be quickly filled. Low-expansion foams are used on burning spills. They are available in 25, 35 and 200 litre package.
